Woof Gang Bakery, which has stores nationwide, will be offering a fitness program for people and their pets in select stores through a new partnership with K9 Fit Club, a lifestyle company based in Hinsdale, Ill. The anticipated launch date is early June.

“We aim to be a game-changer in specialty pet retail with a focus on a higher level of service,” said Paul Allen, president and CEO of Woof Gang Bakery, which has headquarters in Orlando, Fla. “This program is a natural next step in elevating the in-store experience. Because we know that the well-being, health and happiness of pets and their people go hand in hand, we are thrilled to roll out K9 Fit Club classes.”

K9 Fit Club sessions aim to concentrate on exercise, pet behavior and strengthening the human-animal bond. Programs were created by veterinary, medical, fitness and animal behavior professionals, according to company officials.

“We are very excited and proud to bring this partnership to Woof Gang Bakery, built with exceptional people who believe in the power of collaboration to drive positive change in the pet industry,” said Tricia Montgomery, founder and CEO of K9 Fit Club. “K9 Fit Club and Woof Gang Bakery offer health, fitness and wellness at both ends of the leash.”

The classes will first start off in 10 Woof Gang Bakery locations across five states, including Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Kansas. Throughout the summer, 30 additional Woof Gang Bakery stores are scheduled to introduce the program, with more locations added in existing states, as well as in Texas, Nevada, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Classes will include NamaSitStay; Bow Wow Bootcamp; Pupilates; Begging for Beginners; Sit, Stay & Get Fit; Just the Dog and more.
